A Bounteous Harvest

It has clearly taken too long for us to post this, but we thought later is certainly better than never. It turns out "Summer Garden '07: The First Attempt" didn't disappoint. For our very first time growing a garden, we were really happy with the results. Thanks to some training from our bishop, our grandpas and a couple of trusted books, we really had a great harvest. Actually there was way more than we could ever eat/use. The beans and tomotoes kept coming, as did the spaghetti squash, pumpkins and one giant cucumber. Even this far into October we are still picking tomatoes and pumpkins. We also uprooted some great carrots and onions. Michelle has had to become very clever in the meals she has prepared, all of which were delicious. And with tomato sauce (made with homegrown tomatoes and basil (and store bought garlic)) in the freezer, we'll be enjoying the harvest well into the winter.

Note to self: Four pumpkin plants are two too many.

Here's a picture from mid-September:






Aw... Poor Frankencarrot:
